Show the ULC Mark -- Another benefit of ULC certification
A ULC Mark on a product means that ULC has tested representative samples of your
product and determined that they meet ULC's requirements. These requirements are
based primarily on ULC's published and nationally recognized Standards for Safety.
This page will assist you in accurately promoting your ULC product certification. It also
discusses limitations on how you may use the ULC Mark in promoting your products or
business.
NOTE: You can find information about other UL Marks on The UL Mark page of the UL web site
(http://www.ul.com/mark/index.html).
General guidelines and rules for clients with ULC product certification
The general guidelines and rules listed below will help you accurately and properly promote your ULC
product certification. They apply to advertisements, product packaging, brochures, fliers, catalogs, news
releases, Web sites, and any other promotional communication.
Please note that references to ULC in promotional materials are not substitutes for the complete ULC
Listing Mark on your products or their packaging. Advertising references are informational and are not
proof of ULC Listing.

References to ULC can only be made once your product is ULC Listed and you have completed a
formal agreement. To obtain the ULC Mark, please contact our Customer Service Department by
one of the methods below.
The ULC Mark should never appear more prominently in any advertising or packaging than the
name of the company manufacturing or selling the product.
Products certified by other organizations, tested to ULC Standards, cannot bear any ULC Mark
on or in connection with these products or their advertising.
Do not use the ULC Mark or reference your ULC product certification on your company
stationery, business cards or signs. Use of these references on such materials could incorrectly
imply more than a third-party safety certification relationship between your company and ULC, or
incorrectly imply that all products you manufacture have been certified by ULC.
If you use a ULC Mark on your Web site, you must ensure that visitors to your Web site are able
to clearly identify which of your products have been certified by ULC and which have not.
You can not indicate the degree of certification, such as "Exceeds," "First," or "Only" Listing. No
degree of acceptability, safety or protection should be implied in advertising.
If your ULC product certification is withdrawn for any reason, all material that refers to this
certification must be immediately removed from distribution, and you must discontinue any further
use of any ULC Marks.
If some of your products appearing in a Web site, brochure, ad or catalog are entitled to bear the
ULC Mark but others are not, you must ensure the wording and placement of ULC references
make it clear which products are in fact certified by ULC and which are not. Do not use the ULC
Mark in general advertising or promotional material to suggest that non-certified products have, in
fact, been certified.
The ULC symbol and any words used to describe your product certification must be large enough
so that they can be clearly recognized and read by your customers.
Promotional materials, ads and packaging should only illustrate uses of your product that are
consistent with its ULC Listing.
You may use any color to display the ULC Mark on your promotional materials. However, make
sure to use one color for all elements of the Mark.
Do not try to reproduce the ULC Mark. Only use an authorized ULC Mark.
You may not use the ULC Mark on packaging for products that are not ULC certified.
For packaging, the ULC Mark may be used alone as long as the product bears the complete ULC
Listing Mark.
